Please join Seoul Film Society for our May screening of a classic much loved British film on Saturday 16th May. We will be showing Powell & Pressburgers’s visually ravishing Technicolor masterpiece ‘The Red Shoes.’ The film tells the story of a young ballerina torn between the demands of love and art. Martin Scorsese described the film as ‘one of the true miracles of film history.’ This is a FREE screening, open to the public. It's an excellent opportunity to see this classic, highly regarded 1948 British film on a big screen in a great venue. KOREAN SUBTITLES. (www.facebook.com/events/1553394078257325/)
